The first rule of eating in Spain is if you see a green vegetable, grab it, even if it means having salad for breakfast. You might not get another opportunity.
@AlexTaylorNews Thank you, great translation!
One addition: Ibolya grew up in state care. She often talked about being passed on from one institution and foster parent to the next.
Children in these institutions are the ones that the previous government betrayed in the most atrocious way.
Children's orchestra from the village of Sukosd, consisting mainly of Roma children, performing "The forest is green, the mountain is green," considered to be the Hungarian Gypsy anthem, at the inaugural session of the Parliament. 🇭🇺
“Hungary will not be a country without consequences anymore” applause inside & outside the Parliament as PM Magyar announces the National Asset Recovery Agency and apologizes to victims of the Orban era (children in state care, teachers, healthcare workers, journalists, etc) 🇭🇺
@BachmannRudi@TiloJung@bopanc@ronzheimer Eine Möglichkeit, sich diesen Schmerz zu ersparen wäre das Buch von @bopanc (oder zumindest ein Interview dazu) zu lesen, statt nur Überschriften und Tweets darüber
While academic types on X are discussing policy positions and how those contributed to the outcome of the elections, the poisonous Orban system is falling apart in the most satisfying way imaginable. Can���t wait for the next one to jump ship.
Orban's propaganda pope is crying live on TV. This is where we are guys, he can't cope with the fact that the criminal investigation has begun against him 🤭
More to come !!
Orbán-linked oligarchs are transferring tens of billions of forints to the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Uruguay, and other distant countries.
I am aware that Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV), based on reports from banks, has suspended several high-value transfers linked to Antal Rogán’s circle on suspicion of money laundering. I call on the leadership of NAV to immediately freeze these stolen funds.
I once again call on the Prosecutor General, the National Police Chief, and the head of NAV to detain the criminals who have caused thousands of billions of forints in damage to the Hungarian people, and not to allow them to flee — before the formation of a TISZA government — to countries from which extradition is currently not possible.
I am also aware that Orbán-linked oligarchs have begun selling TV2 and other media outlets at below-market prices, including the Rogán-linked propaganda flagship, Lounge Event Kft.
I call on responsible domestic and international investors to refrain from acquiring assets linked to the mafia; otherwise, they may find themselves facing the National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection.
I have also been informed that several oligarch families have already left the country, and that the Mészáros family is expected to travel to Dubai in the coming days. According to reports, several influential oligarch families have already withdrawn their children from school and are arranging trusted security personnel for their departure.
@stefanauer_hku I don’t recall any polls on this absurd law. And I highly doubt there is a significant constituency for banning/covering up books.
This poll from ‘25 shows that support for same sex marriage did decrease (after years of anti lgbt campaigning from the govt)
but it’s still 61%.
The banality of evil.
Rod did not just 'repost fake news.' He circulated a vile slander that Peter Magyar had microwaved his family's pet in front of his children.
This was not merely 'dumb' - it testified to how he had internalised the dehumanising discourse of Orban's propagandists.
He didn't think to verify the absurd, Orwellian claim because it was 'normal,' received wisdom, for those on the regime's payroll.
As Arendt understood, modern tyranny owes less to malice than to thoughtlessness and a failure to reflect on the consequences of one's own actions.
@tothcsabatibor Na mondjuk azert Orbán korszak volt az is, amelyik behajoztatta a koronat a parlamentbe. Az utobbi idokben tulsagosan lefoglaltak oket a kepzelt haboruik, nem maradt eleg ido a nacionalista szinjatekra.
Peter Juhasz, podcaster and facebook influencer has found and collected shredded Fidesz documents near Antal Rogan's office.
The second image is from the Hungarian army, presumably also shredded documents.
Juhasz helped uncover the many brutalities of Hungarian foster housing.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the new auto translate function on X is complete garbage.
It must be somehow AI assisted and is therefore full of hallucinations (tested on Hungarian and German so far).
How do I switch it off?!
The Mayor of Budapest, @bpkaracsonyg, has posted that he spoke to András Schiff on the phone and that Schiff accepted his invitation to give a concert in Budapest, probably next month.
Schiff pledged in 2011 that he would not return to Budapest as long as Orbán remained in power.
Also, the Hungarians in Berlin group has the first family looking for a Nachmieter because they decided to move home. After so much frustration for so long, all of this is truly heart-warming.
Good point. You can be against (uncontrolled) immigration AND Russia. Europe needs more conservatives (and Social Democrats) like this: Against Putin, for controlled borders. Will Magyars triumph serve as an example to normalize normalcy in Europe?
